Package: gthumb Version: 3:2.11.3-2 Severity: grave Justification: causes non-serious data loss
On loading gthumb today it clearly had undergone a major (gnome 2.30 I guess) upgrade. It has lost (in the GUI) *all* catalog and comment information...that's my carefully entered meta-data on perhaps 5,000+ photos dating back to 2004 or earlier. I have found the data unharmed in ~/.gnome2/gthumb/collections and ~/<PATH_TO_PHOTO_IMPORT_DIR>/.comments. However, I see no way to ask gthumb to continue to use this information. As such I consider this a grave bug as it causes (at the user interface level) complete data loss. It is not evident at the moment whether or not gthumb can be convinced to continue to use the existing metadata - if not, I would reclassify as critical. Any long time user of gthumb is going to be deeply frustrated by such a change, occuring without warning and without remedy apart from (presumbably) a downgrade. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (800, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gthumb depends on: ii gthumb-data 3:2.11.3-2 an image viewer and browser - arch ii libatk1.0-0 1.30.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libbrasero-media0 2.30.1-1 CD/DVD burning library for GNOME - ii libc6 2.10.2-9 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcairo2 1.8.10-4 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.24-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.86-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libexiv2-6 0.19-1 EXIF/IPTC metadata manipulation li ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-2.1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.11-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.4.4-1 GCC support library ii libgconf2-4 2.28.1-3 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglib2.0-0 2.24.1-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-keyring0 2.30.1-1 GNOME keyring services library ii libgstreamer-plugins-ba 0.10.29-4 GStreamer libraries from the "base ii libgstreamer0.10-0 0.10.29-1 Core GStreamer libraries and eleme ii libgtk2.0-0 2.20.1-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libjpeg62 6b-16.1 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libpango1.0-0 1.28.0-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libsoup-gnome2.4-1 2.30.1-1 an HTTP library implementation in ii libsoup2.4-1 2.30.1-1 an HTTP library implementation in ii libstdc++6 4.4.4-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libtiff4 3.9.2-3+b1 Tag Image File Format (TIFF) libra ii libunique-1.0-0 1.1.6-1 Library for writing single instanc ii libxml2 2.7.7.dfsg-2 GNOME XML library ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages gthumb recommends: ii gvfs-bin 1.6.1-1 userspace virtual filesystem - bin gthumb suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
